#58:
Just for another perspective, we'd like to see another style banner, maybe something similar to:
http://www.123rf.com/photo_3639529_vector-blue-shield-and-banner.html (less angular of course..)
Also, because of the gradient fill, the colors have a lower contrast feel to them, particularly in the ribbon. We do like the gradient, but perhaps more intense color around the edges to limit the washed-out look.
Finally, one of the ribbons is a shade of turquoise, but it should really be sky blue. This will complicate the background a bit -- and we really like the background as is. Do you have any idea on this that would help us out?
